Default I have never worn sunglasses in my life, Help me pick a pair!

Ok, I have bad eyes, and it has been recommended that I wear sunglasses (not for stupid poker).

So, I want a decent looking pair for my large noggin, and I don't want to spend a fortune (<$100).

Help me out. I know NOTHING about sunglasses.

Go to your nearest CVS or Walgreen's. Try on all the pairs and look at yourself in that little mirror at the top. Pick one.

You're welcome.

If you have bad eyesight, it might help to get prescription sunglasses.

I have a pair of costa del-mars, these are the best sunglasses i've ever owned. about $120 but they come with a lifetime warrenty. I Strongly suggest to get a pair, they are worth the extra $$.

Don't buy something that isn't polarized. You get what you pay for in sunglasses. So if you're gonna sit on them, leave them at the restuarant, or otherwise find ways of destroying them buy a cheap pair of polarized lenses. Even Ray Ban (A good company) has some low end ones in the $50 range. If you think you will keep them around and undamaged for a few years, push up to the $100-150 range and get a decent pair.

Sunglasses are either $5-$19.99 or they're $140+. There's no such thing as a 'decent pair' <$100. I've got a huge head and require spring-loaded frames. Check out the Oakley A-wire 2.0 (the 2.0 is important - the original A-wires don'e have springs) for $140 or Ray Ban's got a pair I think I'm going to go pick up for $160. They're polarized - I think the number on them is RB-3176. I believe you can Rx the Ray Bans.

check out costco. they get premium sunglasses at a discount because they buy discontinued models. I got a pair of maui jims for 140 recently. a lot depends on what is there when you go.
